Golden Oldies: The 23 Longest-Lasting Shows on Prime-Time Television

Most shows don’t last very long. But others, well, they stick around forever. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not so good. In honor of The Simpsons, the oldest series out there at 23 seasons (and counting?), we memorialized the 23 oldest series on prime-time television.

NOTE: This list includes only current, scripted, prime-time TV shows. It does not include Doctor Who, mostly because we couldn’t figure out how to count it.
